~Alexander Luo, Class of 2024
The sun shines high today,
I’m ready to set sail.
The ocean looks so bright and promising,
that I can’t help but smile.
My sailboat pushes off from the dock,
and I grab my fishing net.
I’m ready to do my life’s work.
I cast my net into the clear, blue water,
But I hear thunder.
The dark clouds push their way into the sky,
like a boulder sent to crush my dreams.
I can’t understand why
Zeus punishes me so,
but ‘tis the way of life.
I don’t yell or scream,
or curse the gods.
I can only dock my boat,
head to bed,
and prepare myself
for the next day.
